If we stopped Barcelona's attack, we'll handle Monaco. It won't be easy but we'll go through.

We've scored 17 and allowed 2 goals in CL. +15

Monaco have scored 21 and allowed 16 in CL. +5

People are overrating them beating mediocre City and Dortmund teams. Both 4th place in their respective leagues. And they hardly beat City. 6-6 on aggregate.

We are massive favourites and rightly so. It's certainly possible we lose, but it would be a colossal failure.

It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.

It makes no sense to build them up to be some insane team. We are better. By a mile. But they are decent and have a couple of promising players. Our players need to be focussed and not act as if they're in the final already.

But all of that really is something Allegri and our players will work on and because it's a semi final I have no doubt that they will take Monaco seriously. I expect us to go through after two solid, fairly uneventful wins.

But that's not to say he wouldn't make an astute decision when he has all the facts in front of him.

It's ours to lose, if we approach both games in the right attitude I don't see any reason why we should not start planning a trip to Cardiff. Key elements being focus and humility.

This only truly because it makes you lose concentration and Monaco are capable of hurting you when you are sloppy.

I just noticed we play the return game at home. Seriously, we need to go to the final.
